Methods

Cancels processing and waits for threads to come to full stop when in asynchronous execution.

Constants

CPU_USE_MACHINE_CORE_COUNT = -1 (Inherited)

Uses exactly the number of available CPU cores in the machine. (Available here means on-line CPU cores, some laptops can put CPU cores off line in low battery situations)

CPU_USE_AUTOMATIC = 0 (Inherited)

Takes into account number of available CPU cores on the Machine and also tries to select the fastest way based on developer rating for each algorithm and picture size. (In simple algorithms then the fastest path is sometimes 2 or 3 CPU cores and not 4 CPU cores because of the overhead of managing multiple cores). In more complex algorithms then 3 or 4 cores are almost always faster than 2 cores.

CPU_USE_1_CORE = 1 (Inherited)

Uses one CPU core.

CPU_USE_2_CORES = 2 (Inherited)

Uses two CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than two CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_3_CORES = 3 (Inherited)

Uses three CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than three CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_4_CORES = 4 (Inherited)

Uses four CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_5_CORES = 5 (Inherited)

Uses five CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than five CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_6_CORES = 6 (Inherited)

Uses six CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than six CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_7_CORES = 7 (Inherited)

Uses seven CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than seven CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.

CPU_USE_8_CORES = 8 (Inherited)

Uses eight CPU cores.
This setting will also work on machines with less than eight CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
